Competition Ep87: BushWhispererSpeaksSeason 2 Life-Lessons: BushWhispererSpeaksWe have been conditioned since childhood into this paradigm of competition and, it has become a pathological pattern we find ourselves locked into in order to find success in what is often called the "rat race". A healthy and honest look at what this represents and, what drives it to what end, can be a rather healthy introspection that unveils the neurosis at the core of competition and how it promotes and feeds insecurities in an endless loop of unhealthy behavior. Enjoy Season Two (it's officially underway): The BushWhisperer series of lectures has been strategically arranged and is best watched sequentially, season by season as it gets steadily more advanced and develops the narrative expanding upon the knowledge lectures from previous lectures!

Today is Giving Tuesday andWhy is this day so special? Recognizing how the holiday spirit had shifted to consumerism,New York’s 92ndStreet Y Started Giving Tuesdayto encourage people to help make a difference and impact their community.As I look at Giving Tuesday for me,the Whyis how can I help those that cannot help themselves,such as helping families in need that have just lost a child to allow them the dignity to have a proper burial for their child so that they can grieve.Hopefully most of you have not been through this or have had to endure such a heartbreaking tragedy.But those who have it opens up an impasse of impassibilities that they will have to endure, and emotions that will last a lifetime.This is why I founded and give to theUnforgettables Foundation of Southern Ohio.For families in need who have no one to turn to, and when no one steps up for them, we can and we will.Because Every Child Is Unforgettable!One of saddest and most tragic facts in life is that sometimes children die.The hardship families face is not just emotional… It’s financial.So, what I am asking you to do is not easy.Unlike all the other opportunities you are going to see for Giving Tuesday, I am asking you to give to people who don’t even know they need your help yet. But they will and in a very big way. Giving Tuesdayallows us to bless and serve others. As we have received much, we can also give much in return.Giving is one way that makes us feel better and feel far better than when we are on the receiving end. As you consider different causes this year, please think about a foundation that is close to my heart and that helps so many in our community, who right now may not even know they will need our help.It is calledThe Unforgettables Foundation of Southern Ohio.This foundation helps families in need who have tragically lost a child in providing them the means to give their child a dignified funeral. By helping these families cover the unexpected and cost of burial, we alleviate a substantial burden at arguably the worst time in their lives and allow them to move on with the grieving process.This year, The Unforgettables Foundation of Southern Ohio has been blessed with a $5,000 matching gift which means if you give $20 dollars to the foundation it will be like giving $40.If you are able to give $100 it will be like giving $200.Every dollar countsand we are blessed to help families in the Southern Ohio area and beyond who need our help desperately.Please take time to consider making a difference to those families.It will help them more than you will ever know. There are 40 families this year alone that know that to be true. Please take time to consider donating to theThe Unforgettables Foundation of Southern Ohio.Because Every Child is Unforgettableand during the darkest time for a family, we can be a shining light for them.Goto our Website to Donate:https://lnkd.in/dcTpXwz
